Re: Vorfahren der Familie Steinbrenner aus Groembach/Lodz/ Polen

You are right, the problem is that there is an important link missing between the oldest Steinbrenner, Marta, born in 1905 and all the other Steinbrenner’s I can find. But for sure the Steinbrenner’s I have in my family were all born in Stefanow, but their parents could have moved to Stefanow from somewhere else.I still have a Jan and Maria Steinbrenner nee Beger named in Marta's Death Certificate as Marta’s parents, but with no place and dates of birth or death I can’t connect them to anyone, yet.The only solid information I have is of August Steinbrenner *24/06/1898 as his son Willi is still alive (in his late 80’s) He remembers my father as they were cousins, but nothing more.

Names and dates I have in my family are:

Alfred Steinbrenner *31/01/1926 in Stefanow +15/09/2001

Alfred’s mother: Marta Steinbrenner *16/03/1905 in Stefanow +06/02/1951 in Stare ChrustyI know that Alfred’s mother was named Marta (as I was named after her) and she was born in 1905 in Stefanow, so I hope I have found the death Certificate of the correct Marta as I assume that not too many Marta’s were born in 1905 in Stefanow.

I also know of Gerhard Steinbrenner DOB 29/12/1929 who died on 30/01/1976 and is buried in Portland Oregan. He was the son of August Steinbrenner and the brother of Willi (still alive). He was the only Steinbrenner I knew off, who went to USA, but he died unmarried without children.So at this stage I am grateful for any Steinbrenner’s I can find in ‘Mittelpolen’. I am collecting everyone and hopefully one day I can find the missing link. So thank you very much for your help.
